The Conan-NBC saga has been getting tiresome, and it’s a little tougher to feel for a guy who just got $33 million to leave his job. But as someone who’s also dabbled in petty revenge against a loathsome former employer, though never on this scale, I have to tip my hat to Coco for the majesty that is the Bugatti Mouse sketch. Highly Measty and ballsy, sir.

But then I suppose we have to reserve the actual Meast award for someone whose exploits are more closely related to the gridiron. Very well. The Meast for the divisional round is Ray Edwards, who had three sacks and a forced fumble in the dismantling of Dallas.

The entire Vikes front four crushed Big Cheapy Flozell Adams and the rest of the Cowboys offensive line, but Edwards had the showiest stat line, so we’ll give it to him. In addition we gave consideration to Reggie Bush for running with balls for perhaps the first time in his NFL career and, as has been the norm lately, Darrelle Revis.

Your Least this week is – who else? – Nate Seasonfucking Kaeding.

We’ve already heaped scorn and derision on NSFK twice since Sunday, so I don’t know what else I can add about a guy who has choked away THREE PLAYOFF GAMES for his team in six years. Oh, I know – WE’RE RENAMING THE LEAST AWARD IN HIS DISHONOR!

Sorry, Jeff George. You had a nice ride, but it’s back to being Jason Whitlock’s oozing pumpkin. We got a new Least in town.

MonkeyBusiness is FURIOUS you didn’t rename the award after Vanderjagt

You reserved your letters there, Chief.

Already fixed. The response time for the typo police is admirable.

Does anyone know Nate Kaeding’s pot dealer? Just wondering.

Damn….and I was so hoping the least would be named after Flozell “Cripple ‘Em if Ya Can’t Block ‘Em” Adams…

Pey-Pey…Least next week…Revis Island smoke signals done told me so.

Naming the least after a kicker is too easy. Especially since you can only fairly blame him for losing 2 playoff games. But he certainly does deserve it this week.

priceless face on keading.

@ryan – vanderjact would have been funny though to be honest, his miss probably saved our franchise from even more hatred. had we tied and then won, it would forever be tainted by that bullshit call on polamalu. hurts to admit it as a colts fan but that’s the truth.

I don’t think Vanderjagt ever missed three FG tries in one game, much less a playoff game. I fully endorse Nate Kaeding for Memorial Least. It’s memorial because if it hasn’t already happened, he’s gonna get raped by Shawne Merriman. To death. And Marmalard will chastise them both for fornicating outside the bonds of marriage.

Sorry Ape. Wouldn’t normally give a fuck about typos. I’m just a sucker for wordplay.

Now I’m going to refer to him as “Battleship Edwards” whenever I obnoxiously appeal for him to be Meast of The Week.

SKÅL Vikings!

What the fuck does Romo have to do to get Least around here?!?! Christ.

Romo was the clubhouse leader for Least until NSFK showed up in the late game Sunday.

@MikeD:

Well after this, perhaps the leasty-est performance of the season by anyone, Kaeding probably isn’t going to be.

/secretly hopes he is.

Marmalard for President

As a Chargers fan, I know that it would be easy to just blame Kaeding for the abortion that was that game. But, every member of that team can share in the glory (four personal fouls? False starts/delay of game at home? That interception giving themthe ball inside the 40? Norv’s terrible playcalling?). I’m glad that article references the no-time out, 50+ yard miss in the New England playoff game, because that is the only game that is a more obvious example of an entire team falling apart and losing together. At least we could make ourselves feel better by firing Marty that year.

The “Fire Kaeding” crowd doesn’t realize that that such an action does nothing except ignore the mistakes made by other players and make the team that picks him up happy. But, I do realize that it’s funny from the KSK perspective, so keep it up.

Oh, and yeah, I also live in New York, but I did go to the game. That flight back to New York on monday morning was pretty awesome. Funny how the Jets fans didn’t wear as much gear on their way TO San Diego.

/Maybe I shouldn’t have been wearing my Chargers hat in JFK on Monday if I didn’t want to talk about the game.

In the tradition of Law and Order:SVU and CSI:Boise, negotiations have already begun for The Biggest Loser: NSFK. Coming this fall.

I agree with the Meast, hard as it for me to say. But the Least should have been Antonio Cromartie. He dogged it on Shonn Greene’s TD run, only catching up in the end zone with that bitch shoulder check. Then during NY’s 4th and 1 at the end of the game, he just stood in place the whole time as NY converted. The man is practically Deion-esque when it comes to coverage.

Say what you will about Kaeding, he had a terrible day, but at least he was in no position to make stops. That shit is on Cromartie.

I can’t believe I’m defending him, but: that loss wasn’t primarily Romo’s fault. An back-from-the-dead Johnny Unitas wouldn’t be able to operate if he had Vikings in his grill Every. Single. Snap.

/about to lose my Giants card.

Nate Kaeding has the confident, penetrating stare of a heroin-addicted, lipstick-wearing Season 1 Tobias Beecher.
